About Us

Insurance specialist and business advisor Doug McClure founded Global Investment Strategies (GIS) in 2009 to help clients solve challenges and achieve their financial goals for their families, business, and philanthropic projects.

As business owners themselves, GIS advisors are conservative and realistic in
their assumptions and expectations and deeply understand that clients require decisions that protect them from the risks they face both in their businesses and in their everyday lives.

The firm brackets those risks to ensure a worry-free future for its clients, their businesses and their families.

Dream Team

“Great things in business are nover done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.”
